Optimization of microwave honey processing technology of Phellinus igniarius by orthogonal test combined with multi-index comprehensive weighted scoring method
Objective To optimize the microwave honey processing technology of P.igniarius.Methods With contents of ergosterol,protocatechuic aldehyde,and protocatechuic acid,and appearance traits as evaluation indexes,the factors,such as honey-water ratio,the mass ratio of honey-water to P.igniarius,microwave power,and microwave time were investigated,and the optimum technological parameters of microwave honey processing technology of P.igniarius by orthogonal test combined with multi-index comprehensive weighted scoring method were studied.Results The best microwave honey processing technology of P.igniarius was following:took raw P.igniarius(1 cm3 square block),added appropriate amount of auxiliary materials,mixed well,moistened for 2 h until the auxiliary materials were completely absorbed,processed at microwave power of 300 W for 2 min,took it out,put it in an oven at 50℃for 2 h,took it out,and cooled it.For every 100 kg of P.igniarius,25 kg refined honey and 25 kg water were used.Conclusion The optimized microwave honey processing technology of P.igniarius is stable and feasible,which can provide reference for standardizing the quality of P.igniarius honey processing products and their industrial production and processing.
